Land Registry

What are Land Registry Maps?​

​

You can find information about a property in England or Wales, even if you do not own it, by a land registry map search. The property summary includes the property’s address, the property description, the ‘tenure type’ - the type of ownership the property has, whether there are any ‘restrictive covenants’, which are promises to not do certain things with the land, like not building on a particular area and whether there are any ‘easements’, which are the rights of one piece of land over another, like a right of way.

Why use Land Registry Maps?

​

Attaining land registry and inputting this information over OS MasterMap to create a UK land registry map can be beneficial in several ways.

• It provides information about the property’s address, description, ownership, and any restrictions or rights associated with it.

• Convenient and visual.

• The Ordnance Survey mapping used as a basis for all land registry maps & plans enables the creation of plans to a satisfactory standard and relates individual title plans to one another.

• The title plan includes the property’s location and general boundaries.

• The title register usually includes the title number, who owns the property, how much the property was last sold for, whether the property has a mortgage, details of any ‘restrictive covenants’ and details of any ‘easements’.

• By having access to this information, developers can make informed decisions about the property and avoid any legal issues that may arise in the future
